Students who have attended schools, colleges or universities outside of the United States are required to submit a professional credential evaluation to show what the equivalent academic credential in the US system of education would be. In order to be considered for transfer credit, the evaluation has to be an official course-by-course report that is sent directly to us by the evaluation service or submitted in a sealed envelope.

Most evaluation services will require that official transcripts be sent from the foreign educational institution directly to them. They may also require certified translations of documents.  A fee from the student is also required for the evaluation of credentials. The payment and all contact regarding this process is done directly with the evaluation service of your choice.

Trident Technical College will consider an evaluation from any member of the National Association of Credential Services (NACES).

Below is the contact information of three companies that frequently provide us with evaluations:

For certified translations of your academic records you may contact University Language Services, Inc. at 1-800-419-4601 (Outside the US, call 212-766-4111).

Students seeking admission to the College’s allied health or nursing programs will be required to submit an official evaluation report that includes all institutions attended abroad and official transcripts of all US institutions attended, whether a degree was awarded or not.

For questions about transfer credit, please contact our Advanced Standing Coordinator: Ms. D'Jaris Whipper-Lewis at (843) 574-6487.
